Some days I can understand how she felt. Other days it's not that I mind being touched, it's that I don't have the patience to coach anyone new. That's why I often find chance, unplanned encounters best for breaking out of that mode. It's like any phobia---once you face it, it goes away. There are also simple precautions you can take like papaya digestive enzyme with meals, lots of water, easy on the beer.
